Materials and Methods

[0049]Materials. SURVEYOR nuclease (CEL II) was purified from celery by a modification of known methods (Yang, et al. (2000) supra; Gerard, et al. (2006) supra). Enzymatic activity was assigned based upon a denatured DNA solubilization assay performed at pH 8.5 (Yang, et al. (2000) supra). One unit of solubilization activity was defined as the amount of enzyme required to produce 1 ng of acid-soluble material in 1 minute at 37 ° C.

[0050]OPTIMASE® Polymerase and MAXIMASE™ Polymerase were from Transgenomic, Inc (Omaha, Nebr.). M-280 Streptavidin magnetic DYNABEADS® were from Dynal Biotech (INVITROGEN, Carlsbad, Calif.). Cloned T4 DNA ligase was prepared by Transgenomic, Inc. Streptavidin was purchased from SIGMA (Sigma / Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo.). Control G and Control C plasmids were from Transgenomic, Inc. Control C and Control G have inserts (632 bp) that differ at a single base pair, so that annealing of their PCR products produces heteroduplices that when cleave...

Capturing 3′-Overhang Nucleotides Generated by Mismatch Endonuclease Using Randomized Terminal Linker-Dependent PCR

[0062]Requirements for Capturing the 3′-Overhang Nucleotides Generated by SURVEYOR Nuclease at Mismatch Cut Sites. Direct sequence analysis of SURVEYOR nuclease cleavage products involves the capture of the 3′-overhangs created after digestion at a mismatch site. The capture must be specific to eliminate background during the subsequent sequencing reaction. The main challenge comes from background produced as the result of the 5′-to-3′ exonuclease activity of SURVEYOR nuclease (Gerard, et al. (2006) supra) attacking the ends of PCR products. After digestion of a Control G / C heteroduplex with SURVEYOR nuclease, cleavage fragments (415 bp and 217 bp) are present in a mixture along with undigested homoduplices and heteroduplices (632 bp) and the 5′-to-3′ exonuclease activity of SURVEYOR nuclease creates 3′-overhangs at both ends of the full-length molecules that will compe...

Abstract

The invention relates to methods for identifying the sequence of one or more variant nucleotides in a nucleic acid molecule. The method involves cleaving a double-stranded nucleic acid molecule containing a mismatch with a mismatch-specific endonuclease which cleaves on the 3′ side of the mismatch, and preserving the integrity of the variant nucleotide by ligating a double-stranded linker with a 3′-overhang to said variant nucleotide. Because the variant nucleotide is immediately adjacent to the linker, PCR and/or sequence-by-synthesis analysis can be readily carried out.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Identifying genome sequence variations between individuals is valued because it has the potential to explain phenotypes, disease predisposition, response to disease treatments and mechanisms of disease which may lead to more effective drug development. Sequencing the whole genomes of individuals is still an expensive and time consuming procedure although recent technologies based on sequencing-by-synthesis have made great progress. More economical, efficient and error-free methods of identifying sequence variation are needed.[0002]The activity of mismatch-specific endonucleases has found utility in detection of sequence variations in otherwise identical DNA strands. A heteroduplex must first be produced between one reference DNA strand and the reverse complement of the sample strand. If the sequences are exactly complementary with no mismatched bases, no cleavage takes place. If, however, they are not exactly complementary and mismatched bases are pr...
